The play itself is a loose retelling of the biblical story of King Herod and his execution of John the Baptist (here, as in Wilde's play, called Jokaanan) at the request of his stepdaughter, Salomé, whom he lusts after. Salomé is often called one of the first art films to be made in the U.S.[citation needed] The highly stylized costumes, exaggerated acting (even for the period), minimal sets, and absence of all but the most necessary props make for a screen image much more focused on atmosphere and on conveying a sense of the characters' individual heightened desires than on conventional plot development. Despite the film being only a little over an hour in length and having no real action to speak of, it cost over $350,000 to make. All the sets were constructed indoors to be able to have complete control over the lighting. The film was shot completely in black and white, matching the illustrations done by Aubrey Beardsley in the printed edition of Wilde's play. The costumes, designed by Natacha Rambova, used material only from Maison Lewis of Paris, such as the real silver lamé loincloths worn by the guards. No major studio would be associated with the film, and it was years after its completion before it was released, by a minor independent distributor. It was a complete failure at the time and marked the end of Nazimova's producing career. A longstanding rumor, which seems to have started while the film was still in production, suggests that its cast is comprised entirely of gay and bisexual actors in an homage to Oscar Wilde, as per star and producer Nazimova's demand. It is, of course, impossible to say, but one of the extras in Salomé reported that a number of the cast members—both featured and extras—were indeed gay, but not an unusual percentage of them, and certainly not all of them. What can be said is that Nazimova herself was a lesbian, the two guard characters (who, next to Salomé, have the most screen time) are at least played very stereotypically gay, and several of the female courtiers are men in drag. Salomé was screened in 1989 at the New York International Festival of Lesbian and Gay films and in 1990 at the New York Gay Experimental Film Festival. In 2000, the United States Library of Congress deemed the film "culturally significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry.在《萨乐美》这部影片中,艾拉·娜兹莫娃扮演了主角萨乐美,她的表演深刻地揭示了角色内心的复杂情感。以下是她饰演角色时的三句台词:1. “我渴望得到他,但不是以那种方式。”这句台词展现了萨乐美内心深处对希律王的爱慕,同时也暗示着她对于爱的纯洁追求。2. “我将用我的舞蹈赢得他的心。”萨乐美为了得到心爱之人的青睐,决定通过舞蹈来吸引希律王的注意,这句话体现了她为爱勇敢付出的决心。3. “我愿意牺牲自己的一切。”在面对道德与爱情的抉择时,萨乐美展现出了一种为爱不惜一切的勇气,这句话反映了她对爱情的执着和牺牲精神。在《萨乐美》中,除了艾拉·娜兹莫娃饰演的萨乐美外,还有其他几位演员参与演出。其中包括:- 约翰·巴里摩尔饰演希律王,他的表演充满了权力的野心和内心的挣扎。- 玛格丽特·迈克尔斯饰演伊莎贝拉公主,她与萨乐美之间存在着复杂的姐妹情谊。- 梅林德·斯普林格饰演约翰·施洗者,他在剧中以预言者的身份出现,预示了萨乐美命运的悲剧性转折。这些演员们共同塑造了一个充满激情、欲望与悲剧色彩的故事,使得《萨乐美》成为电影史上一部不可多得的经典之作。
